Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 44 Appointment
"You are also six years old, so you have to act like a girl and don't always play with your brothers and the others." Mrs. Liu, the Duke's wife, scolded her little daughter in a low voice.

The youngest daughter Tang Bingyan is the youngest girl in the family. She loves to be lazy and cunning. However, she is not as smart as Xuan'er and her homework is only so-so.

"The child is still young, so don't be too harsh." The madam came to the rescue for her granddaughter.

Tang Bingyan stuck out her tongue and saluted Mrs. Liu respectfully, "My daughter understands."

At this time, Rong Guogong asked his eldest daughter who was sitting aside drinking tea: "Xuan'er, yesterday at the Queen Mother's birthday party, the "Yao Chang" you played was said to be a long-lost famous song, and my father had never heard it before. You played it.”

Tang Bingxuan, who originally wanted to be invisible before breakfast, had to stand up and face her old father, "This piece of music was accidentally acquired by my daughter. It was stuck in a book in her grandfather's study. The second half was originally missing, so my daughter could play it by herself at her own leisure." I made up for it if nothing happened."

When Duke Rong Guo heard his daughter's explanation, he didn't go into details. When everyone arrived, everyone sat down to have breakfast.

……

After breakfast, everyone went back to the yard.

In the inner room, Zhixia handed an unsigned letter to Tang Bingxuan, "Miss, I just received a letter from Qiu Yu in the third lady's courtyard."

Tang Bingxuan opened the envelope and took out the letter, "Did Qiu Yu say anything?"

Zhixia replied: "Qiu Yu just said that the letter was given to you by the third lady, and did not say anything else."

Tang Bingxuan opened the letter and saw that it read "At the end of the third quarter, Zhishu Zhai, Fanlou - Jiang."

It seems that the third uncle asked Qiu Yu to deliver the letter in the name of the third aunt. The third uncle really trusts Jiang Shunian!

The eagerness to meet at this time should be because of what happened to Qiao Waner yesterday. Should he tell the truth about what happened to him in the corner, so as to avoid misunderstandings between the two in the future.

In the morning, Tang Bingxuan followed her mother, Mrs. Liu, to read the account books all morning. In the recent morning, she had been looking at the arrivals and departures of the Duke of Rongguo in recent years. Tang Bingxuan actually felt a little nauseous, but her mother stared at it in person every day. I can only bear to read them one by one.

Since her mother, Mrs. Liu, had given up the management rights of the sewing room and kitchen, she obviously had more free time, so she kept an eye on her siblings even more closely. Fortunately, her mother had to watch Tang Wenzhu recite and practice calligraphy in the afternoon, and also watch Tang Bingyan do her homework. Be lazy, otherwise you won't have any free time.

During lunch, in order to reward her younger siblings who had worked hard recently, Tang Bingxuan took the initiative to invite her younger siblings to have a meal in her yard, as well as the twin brothers Tang Wenhong and Yuan's family.

At the dinner table, Tang Bingxuan turned a blind eye to the resentful looks cast by her younger siblings. After all, she had to go through it to be as relaxed as she is now.

"If you pay more attention to your homework, in a few more years you will be as free as my sister. Don't blame me for not reminding you. Mother is the best at keeping an eye on people."

Tang Bingxuan felt sad and sad when she thought about the battle of wits and courage she had with her mother Liu, and how she had to give in in the end.

"Sister, I'm not as smart as you. If my mother stares at me like this every day, I won't be able to eat well and sleep well, and I'll have nightmares. I won't grow taller!" Tang Bingyan's small mouth was so pouty that she wanted to hang a bottle of oil.

"Then tell your mother, how can we prevent our lovely little girl from growing taller?" Tang Bingxuan stretched out her index finger and tapped Tang Bingyan's lips.

Tang Wenhong gnawed on the chicken leg in his hand and said happily: "Fortunately, my parents are not like my eldest aunt, otherwise I would definitely not be able to bear it."

Although the twin brothers are smart and smart, they feel terrified when they think of their mother and aunt staring at the Tang Wenzhu siblings.

"Sister, I'm actually fine. It's just that the fourth sister is too stupid. She can't even do the homework assigned by her husband." Tang Wenzhu expressed his true thoughts. Tang Bingyan became angry after hearing Tang Wenzhu's words. She clenched her fist and threatened Tang Wenzhu: "You bastard, you are stupid! I will be smarter than you in the future, just wait and see!"

"Okay, as long as you behave well, mother won't stare at you every day. Sister, I speak from experience." Tang Bingxuan quickly calmed down the emotions of her younger siblings, and decided to reward her younger siblings in the future by delivering meals directly to their residences. , I’d better not participate anymore, I’m tired.

After a lively lunch, Tang Bingxuan continued to take a nap. Recently, she had no time to catch up on her sleep in the morning, so she had to catch up in the afternoon.

A moment later, Tang Bingxuan's carriage drove away from Duke Rongguo's Mansion and headed towards the Fan Tower on East Street.

"Miss, what does Third Master Jiang want to do to meet you outside?" Zhichun saw that Tang Bingxuan had asked Zhixia to wake her up in advance from her nap today, and only then did she know that Miss Jiang was going to make an appointment with Third Master Jiang in the afternoon.

Of course it's Qiao Waner's business! Zhichun happened to be present at the time, so it was most appropriate for Zhichun to follow as an insider.

Zhichun probably hadn't recognized that Jiang Shunian was the leading actor that day, so Tang Bingxuan didn't explain it to Zhichun, "We'll find out when we meet him."

When they arrived at Fanlou, Zhichun followed Tang Bingxuan directly to the third floor to Zhishuzhai. After knocking on the door, someone came out and opened the door.

"Please, Miss Tang, my third master has been waiting for you for a long time." Jiang Qi invited Tang Bingxuan in, and then took Zhichun away without any explanation.

How long will you wait? Are you complaining that I made your third master wait too long? Tang Bingxuan cursed, I was not late anyway.

"Miss Tang, please take a seat." Jiang Shunian stood up and invited Tang Bingxuan to take a seat.

"I heard from Third Master's servant that Third Master has been here for a long time?" Tang Bingxuan asked after sitting down.

Jiang Shunian smiled, his peach blossom eyes sparkling, and reached out to pour a cup of tea for Tang Bingxuan, "I had lunch here, so I never left."

"Oh. The little girl thought that the third master lingered here for a long time because he was speechless." Tang Bingxuan looked at Jiang Shunian jokingly.

Jiang Shunian laughed again after hearing this, this time he smiled wider, his peach blossom eyes sparkling with stars, "Miss Tang is really unparalleled in her predictions."

Tang Bingxuan asked directly, "Then what is there that the third master has to say to the little girl?"

The private room on the third floor of the Fan Building is extremely private. The two of them sat at the square table in the center of the private room, facing each other and having a panoramic view of each other's expressions.

Jiang Shunian looked at Tang Bingxuan with a clear look on her face, "You know?"

"How do I know what Mr. Jiang wants to say? I'm just here to keep an appointment." Tang Bingxuan didn't want to take the initiative to confess, and it would depend on the timing.

Jiang Shunian looked at Tang Bingxuan carefully and didn't believe her words, but he didn't force her either.

"Yesterday, my cousin Qiao Waner asked you to come on stage to play the piano on the Queen Mother's birthday. Aren't you angry?" Jiang Shunian said while looking at Tang Bingxuan.

Tang Bingxuan was considerate and said as if she was bearing the burden of humiliation: "I'm angry because she is your uncle's cousin after all. I have to bear with her."
